TM 9-2320-361-24-1 0001 00 0001 00-8 GENERAL INFORMATION (Contd) GENERAL PREPARATION OF VEHICLE FOR SHIPMENT (Contd) LUBRICATION WARNING Skysol 100 solvent is combustible; DO NOT use or store near heat, sparks, flame, or other ignition sources. Use mechanical ventilation whenever product is used in a confined space, heated above ambient temperatures, or agitated. Keep container sealed when not in use. Contact with Skysol 100 may cause skin irritation. Use chemical-resistant gloves. In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye contact may cause irritation, tearing, or blurring of vision. Use face shield or goggles when eye contact may occur. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. Inhalation may cause irritation to upper respiratory passages. DO NOT have food or drink in the vicinity. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel. After cleaning has been accomplished, wipe all grease fittings with Skysol 100 and lubricate vehicle in accordance with WP 0020 00. Remove excess grease after lubrication and before processing. PRESERVATION All critical unpainted metal surfaces must be protected during shipment. Use procedures and materials listed below. If the preservatives listed below are not available, oil or grease covered in WP 0020 00 may be used for this purpose, but are effective for only a few days; therefore, equipment protected must be closely watched for signs of corrosion. When selecting preservatives, use only those that will not damage the surface to which they are applied. Battery Leads. Disconnect both batteries (WP 0126 00). Each battery lead terminal, including the jumper lead ends, must be wrapped with tape (item 43, WP 0468 00). Miscellaneous Preservation. Coat all unpainted, exposed, or machined metal surfaces on the exterior of the vehicle with corrosion-preventative compound (item 15, WP 0468 00). PACKAGING Electrical Openings. Cover all electrical receptacles with tape (item 43, WP 0468 00) or with plastic caps which will afford the same degree of protection. PACKING Pack all Basic Issue Items (BII) and Additional Authorization List (AAL) items to prevent mechanical damage.
